TED - Textile Enviromental Design Sustainable Practice Award 2016.


Interactive, animated and virtual garments were created for the graduate collection using industry
standard 3 dimensional softwares, like Zbrush and CLO3D, demonstrating future possibilites of
interactive fashion experiences.

These virtual garments imitate fabric behaviour and are true to physical properties found within
garments that drape and move naturally. In order to replicate these qualities, traditional techniques
like pattern cutting and garment construction where still used, however pushed forward into a virtual
environment.
